Mississippi: Well On Its Way To Not Counting

Well, by the Clinton rules, anyway.

95 percent reporting

Obama 60
Clinton 38

That's actually more than the 57% I would have predicted he'd get based on the initial exit polls. Which I'm sure will be re-weighted under our noses to prove how "correct" they always are. (UPDATE: Yes they can! I wish I remembered to get screenshots of this. It's not well known that they fudge their data.)

Mississippi is the most heavily African-American state in the country and they went 9-1 for Obama. If it wasn't for a significant vote for Clinton among those who strongly favor John McCain (70-25) and self-identified Republicans (75-25), she would have had her clock cleaned in this crossover primary. Whether that's a function of Republican mischief or good ol' fashioned racism is unclear.

Six weeks without another primary until Pennsylvania... the Baataan death march continues...

...oh yeah, Democrat Andre Carson won a special election to replace his grandmother Julia in IN-07. So we're now up to 233-198 with 4 seats still vacant: CA-12, LA-01, LA-06, and MS-01. Republicans are favored in 3 out of 4, though LA-06 is a possibility, so we could have up to 235 seats stashed in Congress heading into November. As incompetent as the Republicans have been, a 55-seat victory is not insane, and that gets a veto-proof supermajority of 290. Wishful thinking, but fun with numbers...

...Run for your lives, Rep. Carson converted to Islam! Virgil Goode was right, they're multiplying and taking over!!!1!! Swearing in on the Koran ZOMG!!!

Which wingnut's going to stick his foot in his mouth this time?
